A small group of demonstrators was today handing out facemasks to passersby on the streets of Malmo in Sweden as part of protests against the country's "laissez-faire" coronavirus lockdown policy.

One the protesters held a banner reading: "Families shouldn't be COVID experiments."

Sweden has never issued a formal lockdown and has instead encouraged its citizens to stay home when they're sick and maintain social distancing when in public.

Sweden's laissez-faire policy has not resulted in significant economic gains and has instead left the country with a far deadlier outbreak than its Nordic neighbours, according to recent data.

Activists organised a protest action against the Swedish government's Covid-19 strategy. Sweden is the 6th country in the world with more death per capita due to coronavirus. The country has taken very few measures and part of the population is asking for a stricter policy to prevent the further spread of the epidemic.
